Studies were carried out to determine the optimum conditions for the production of equine monoclonal antibodies (MAbs). Lymphocytes from ponies immunised with influenza A equine 2 virus, isolate A/Equine/Newmarket/79 (H3N8) were fused with mouse myeloma (NSO) cells and with horse-mouse heterohybridomas made aminopterin-sensitive by selective growth in 8-azaguanine. Although all fusions initially resulted in heterohybridoma colonies that secreted equine immunoglobulin, many of these were unable to maintain secretion for longer than a few weeks. Increasing the time between immunisation and the booster injection of Newmarket/79 virus, the inclusion of Freund's incomplete adjuvant and the use of an aminopterin-sensitive primary heterohybridoma as the fusion partner, improved the production of HIg-secreting heterohybridomas. After two clonings eight cell lines were established which maintained anti-Newmarket/79 antibody secretion for over a year. FACS analysis of the cell lines provided a useful means of predicting breakdown of MAb secretion by the cell lines, thus enabling re-cloning to be carried out in time.

D008214 Lymphocytes White blood cells formed in the body's lymphoid tissue. The nucleus is round or ovoid with coarse, irregularly clumped chromatin while the cytoplasm is typically pale blue with azurophilic (if any) granules. Most lymphocytes can be classified as either T or B (with subpopulations of each), or NATURAL KILLER CELLS. Lymphoid Cells,Cell, Lymphoid,Cells, Lymphoid,Lymphocyte,Lymphoid Cell
D009980 Influenza A virus The type species of the genus ALPHAINFLUENZAVIRUS that causes influenza and other diseases in humans and animals. Antigenic variation occurs frequently between strains, allowing classification into subtypes and variants. Transmission is usually by aerosol (human and most non-aquatic hosts) or waterborne (ducks). Infected birds shed the virus in their saliva, nasal secretions, and feces.

D006736 Horses Large, hoofed mammals of the family EQUIDAE. Horses are active day and night with most of the day spent seeking and consuming food. Feeding peaks occur in the early morning and late afternoon, and there are several daily periods of rest.

D006825 Hybridomas Cells artificially created by fusion of activated lymphocytes with neoplastic cells. The resulting hybrid cells are cloned and produce pure MONOCLONAL ANTIBODIES or T-cell products, identical to those produced by the immunologically competent parent cell. Hybridoma
D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
